installer crash out of disk space

[ottod]

i5 Sandy Bridge
Dell Vostro 3450
8 Gb RAM
Trying to install to 10 Gb partition. Installer says it needs 8.6 Gb. Then it proceeds to creating an 8 Gb swap file and tries to create / on the remaining 2 Gb. Installing to custom partition schema does the work.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
